Tuner GP 2013: FSWerks Profile

2013 Ford Focus ST brings a Euro/American flavor

Ford-based FSWerks specializes in vehicles like the 2013 Ford Focus ST that it brought out to this year’s Tuner GP. The team had 4-5 project cars to choose from but went with the Focus ST because it had not been to the track. Ultimately, due to its basic bolt-ons they realized it was like bringing a knife to a gunfight. However, brothers Vik and Raffi still gave it everything they had with Vik taking care of the drag racing and Raffi driving on the road course.

When asked what edge they had over the competition, they cited track experience and the fact that they’ve been participating in the Tuner GP for years. To find out if track experience was their saving grace check out the full story in the February 2014 issue.

For those suffering from drifting withdrawals after the epic Formula D season finale, the guys at Just Drift had just the solution with the annual All Star Bash at Willow Springs Raceway this past Saturday and Sunday.
